I expect that this has been done before but we're planning a kitchen
extension and renew and that there boiler is gonna have to go as its in
the way. Its a Potterton Suprima 80 so perhaps best if we give it a
decent burial, its been in service since 1996.

It will be much easier to put a new in place and then cut the pipes over
which go right past the new position and in all makes it simpler. So
what's the recommendation these days for a decent condenser wall mount
type thats reliable, efficient, and not too much specialized software
to service around the 28 "ish" kW output?..

TIA....

The guys who service my boiler swear by either Worcester Bosch or Vaillant.
They claim that "Glow-worm" is a "Vaillant in cheaper Glow-worm clothing"
and that is what some of them have installed.

Avoid an "Ocean Alpha" - been nothing but trouble since the day it was
installed!

We've had an Alpha CD32C boiler for about 5 years now and it's been
brilliant. Only had one problem with it and, funny enough, that was just a
couple of days ago - turned out to be the diverter valve. At the time, Alpha
were the only manufacturer to give three years warranty but I think others
also do it now. So, my vote goes to Alpha - just had a very quick look at
the website to get the URL for you and it turns out they now do 5-year
warranty as standard, upgradeable to 7 years with 'Premier Pack' (whatever
that is):

It's a wall jig - you plumb it all in and connect up and then the boiler
lifts onto it and all the pipes just connect up.

Part of the warranty extension comes from the fact that their is a filter
built in. Part of it is no doubt subsidised from the cost of the kit :-)

96 is pretty modern, has it been trouble?

15 years for a suprima?

That's almost a world record


Alpha are pretty crap, but if you can get a 7 year warranty deal, then
that's about as long as you can expect from a modern condensing boiler

W-B and vaillant seem to be the front runners, but I'm seeing a LOT of
W-B pcbs and fans, slightly over rated possibly

I'm sure drivel will be along to recommend some crap boiler with no
track record which HAS to be the best

Well it has got one of your re-furbed boards in it and by and large
works 'tho it has odd moments but the waters hot and the house warm so
must be doing its job..

So Valiant it is then by the look of it..

Are the Glowworm range the same as these inside then?..
